CHAIR ATTACHIVIENT.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, IsAAo W. MoOLANA- HAN, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Spokane, in the county of Spokane and State ofWashington, have invented a new and useful Chair Attachment, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention has relation to chair attachments and it consists in thenovel construction and arrangement of its parts as hereinafter shown anddescribed.

The object of the invention is to provide an attachment in the form of asupplemental seat adapted to be applied to dental, physicians andbarbers chairs for the use of children or persons of diminutive stature.

The attachment consists of a seat which is mounted upon hangers havinghooked extremities for engagement with the upper edge of the back of thechair. Saidhangers are hinged or collapsible, and a pair of foldablearms is also provided.

In the accompanying drawings :Figure 1 is a perspective view of a chairwith the attachment applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of theattachment. s ective view of several separated parts of t e attachment;and Fig, 4 is a perspective view of a modified form of hanger for theattachment.

The attachment consists of the seat 1 to the rear edge of which isattached the hangers 2. Said hangers are preferably in the form of flatspring bands and are adapted to pass over the upper edge of the chairback as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The said hanger may, however, be in theform of a round metallic rod, as shown in Fig. 4. The lower ends of thehangers 2 are. pivotally or hingedly attached to the members 3 which inturn are secured to the seat 1. The front sides of the hangers 2 areprovided with lugs Specification of Letters Patent.

4 upon which are mounted vertically disposed pins 5. The arms 6 aresecured at their lower ends under the clips 7 which in turn-are attachedto the seat 1. y The upper ends of the said arms 6 are provided withsockets 8 which are adapted to receive the pins 5. The arms 6 are alsoprovided with the rest portions 9 which brace the said arms and serve asside rests for the attachment. When the attachment is applied to a chairthe parts are in the osition as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing.When the parts are collapsed the arms 6 are sprung so that the sockets 8are disengaged from the pins 5. The said arms 6 are then swung down ontop of the seat 1 and the hangers 2 are swung under the seat and theircurved portions are sprung around the forward edge of the seat. Thus theattachment, when collapsed, occupics but small space.

Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters- Patent is An attachment comprising a seat, spring hangerspivotally attached at their lower ends to the rear edge of the seat andbeing rearwardly curved at their upper ends, pins mounted upon saidhangers, arms pivotally attached to the seat and adapted to engage thepins for holding the hangers and the seat in fixed positions withrelation to each other the hangers being so mounted upon the seat thatthey may be swung against the under side of the same with the curvedportions receiving the forward edge of the seat.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixedmy signature in the presence of two witnesses.
